Description

Conjugated Linoleic Acid, 90% (Mixture Of Isomers) is a high-purity blend of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid, primarily cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12, known for its significant biological activity. This compound matters as a premium-grade raw material for research and commercial product development, offering a concentrated source of bioactive fatty acids. It is needed by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, functional food, and animal feed industries, as well as by research institutions studying lipid metabolism, body composition, and health supplements.

Application

• Primary ingredient in dietary supplements and weight management formulations targeting body composition.
• Functional additive in fortified foods, beverages, and nutritional powders.
• Key component in animal feed premixes for livestock to improve lean meat yield and feed efficiency.
• Research chemical for biomedical and nutritional studies investigating its effects on metabolism, immunity, and chronic diseases.
• Raw material for the cosmeceutical industry in skin health and topical formulations.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more specialized lipid derivatives and esters for various industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our Conjugated Linoleic Acid, 90% is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and isomer profile. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting results for assay, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological parameters are available upon request. Our quality commitment supports compliance for applications in nutraceutical (FCC) and research markets.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and prolong shelf life. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. The container should be kept tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
